Topic: NOT an Advanced Trauma Kit (Read 11166 times)

Cuz I have no idea how to use all that stuff in Doc's Advanced Trauma Kit. I'm not even sure what lot of it does. Based on a Condor Rip-Away EMT Pouch.I'll spare you the photos of the pouch I included in my blog post about this, the photos on that Amazon linked page are much more clear. *s*i*g*h*The pouch opened upTop panel. Two pockets, three elastic loops. Quikclot in one pocket, first aid manual in other. The elastic loops usually hold a couple of "rescue blankets."Middle panel. Another pocket with a pack of Quickclot, an Israeli bandage, and some kerlix-sytle gauze.This shows that the smaller loops elastic on this panel are attached to a large sleeve. Bottom section is a zippered mesh pocket which holds some single-use pouches of Neosporin and some band-aids. (Includes butterfly, knuckle, and fingertip bandaids.)Not shown: Gauze pads, pencil, notebook, and bandage scissors.

Not included: Cell phone, source of fire, duct tape. This kit is intended for use when and where I'll have other sources for those. No SAM Splints, ditto. Also, no "Bolin Chest Seal" or similar device which I don't know how to use.

Do I treat Glocks like I treat my lawn mowers? No, I treat them worse. I treat my defensive weapons like my fire extinguishers and smoke detector - annual maintenance and I expect them to work when needed

Ordered Thursday evening, chose "el cheapo" 10-15 day delivery, arrived yesterday. All I ordered was some more individual-use triple antibiotic packets, some suture strips, and two packs of the Alocsac waterproof storage bags. They have some neat stuff, though, it would be easy to go nuts. I like their medication pack, I think it would be pretty useful for a lot of things.
